Despite a million debates raging in his head over string guage, pickup height, Pete Townshend's sexual history, and pick material he makes his Shiva give up the goods. Plus his unplugged electric tone... well... it exists.

Cirrus wrote:I'd say generally you want a bass sound that has more treble and midrange than many people are used to. If you dial in a deep, huge tone in the room it'll sound small/ dull/ indistinct when it's played back at mix volumes. But with midrange and treble you get clarity in the mix, and once it's suitably compressed the bottom will tend to fill out or at least become more punchy.

Bro, BRO! BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I bought a BTB with the Bartolini full electronics used a couple years back. That thing is probably my favorite bass I've ever played. It feels good and sounds good, but I'd hate to lug it around on stage. Weighs a gat damn metric ton. Always sounds so damn good though.
Easiest bass in the world to fit in a full mix. Just slices through.
